The Open Geospatial Consortium publishes Health Spatial Data Infrastructure Concept Development Study Engineering Report.
Members of the NYS GIS Association contributed to the Health Spatial Data Infrastructure Concept Development Study Engineering Report. One of the editors of the report, Alan Leidner, describes the study as making “a strong case for improved use of precision GIS data to track pandemic cases from first interaction with the health system, the employment of spatial tools to support contact tracing operations, and the secure use of detailed health data to predict disease spread, among a number of other findings and recommendations.” He anticipates this report is likely to become a “living document,” with updates and improvements added over time.
The Office of the NYS GIO, the NYS GIS Association Regional Committee, NYC GISMO, and NSGIC all provided invaluable input and support. This effort is being distributed internationally and points to the critical role being played by both NYC and NYS in advancing spatial science and practice.
